keep connections consistent [message #519140]

I'm sure that the solution is in this forum... but I can't find it. Maybe I found the wrong words... However, here is my new problem:

I have this piece of ecore_diagram

(if image isn't visible.. http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/2752/helpgz.png)

and an example of the relative omm

<OPUS:Map>
  <contiene xsi:type="OPUS:PuntoDiStoccaggio" PKNome="Buf_nnn" >
    <giacenze quantita="10" relativa_all_item="//@ha_item.0"/>
  </contiene>
  <ha_item nome="PF_1"  pds_default="//@contiene.0"/> 
</OPUS:Map>

PuntoDiStoccaggio is visible on the editor (it has his EditPart) while item not.
If I change the name of the item (ha_item nome="PF_2"), I want that PuntoDiStoccaggio sees immediately the changes, as if i delete the item, i want that the connection with PuntoDiStoccaggio will delete automatically. But it's not so.
How could I do?

Thanks for the time you're wasting for me.

Re: keep connections consistent. notification needed? [message #519146 is a reply to message #519140]

I tried to set names of resources as ID, and use the name as EKey too for link, but nothing.. same issue.

Maybe I need notifications? I really don't know how they work and what good are them to...

I try to explain better my problem.

MAP contains ITEM and PDS (puntoDiStoccaggio).
PDS contains GIACENZA
GIACENZA has a link with ITEM

ITEM and GIACENZA are not graphical elements, I don't create them by drag&drop but programaticaly.

well, let the first item has the name="PF_1"

if I do map.getItem().setName("PF_2") I change its name.
but if I do map.getPds().getGiacenza.getRelativa_all_item().getName() it's still =PF_1

How could I do so that if I change properties of an ITEM, this modifications are updated also in the GIACENZE's ITEM ? (that should be the same item...)

It sounds like this isn't really the same object but rather a different
instance.

If they're the same object, you'd not have this problem, and if they're
different objects, then it's correct for them not to both change at once.

they should be the same object.... I don't understand why changements affect only one occurrence....

I do (in a write transaction)

map.getPds().getGiacenze().add (map.getItem())

and in the .omm file, the relation is correctly saved
(see giacenze relativa_all_item="//@ha_item.0"/)

Quote:

<OPUS:Map>
<contiene xsi:type="OPUS:PuntoDiStoccaggio" PKNome="Buf_nnn" >
<giacenze quantita="10" relativa_all_item="//@ha_item.0"/>
</contiene>
<ha_item nome="PF_1" pds_default="//@contiene.0"/>

But if I try to save the editor after changing an item's name (i.e. from PF_1 to PF_2),
it don't let me save, rising an error like "giacenza has PF_1 that is not contained anywhere" ..

Daniele,

If they were the same object, it wouldn't be possible for that one
object to have two different values. So they must be two different
object and in that case you should expect to have to change they both.
Why you'd have two objects when you expect only one is hard to explain
from the details you've provided. The debugger is likely to help
investigate the details.

I found my shit.

when I changed an ITEM, I did

Quote:

public void change_item (Item old_item, Item new_item) {
BasicEList list = new BasicEList();
list.addAll(map.getHa_Item());
for (int i=0; i < list.size(); i++){
if (list.get(i) == old_item)
/* -----> */ { list.set(i, new_item) } // <---------
}
EditingDomain editingDomain = this.getEditingDomain();
EReference feature = OPUS.OPUSPackage.eINSTANCE.getMap_Ha_item();
editingDomain.getCommandStack().execute(
SetCommand.create(editingDomain, map, feature , list) );
}

of course list.set(i) REMOVE the element at i, and put a new one...

so is the solution create a write transaction for each attribute of an item, writing directly the new attributes? something like that

Quote:

EReference feature = XXX.XXXPackage.eINSTANCE.getItem_Ha_fornitore();
editingDomain.getCommandStack().execute(
SetCommand.create(editingDomain, item_i, feature , item_nuovo.getHa_fornitore()) );
feature = XXX.XXXPackagePackage.eINSTANCE.getItem_Ha_bom();
editingDomain.getCommandStack().execute(
SetCommand.create(editingDomain, item_i, feature , item_nuovo.getHa_bom()) );
feature = XXX.XXXPackageSPackage.eINSTANCE.getItem_Ha_path_item();
editingDomain.getCommandStack().execute(
SetCommand.create(editingDomain, item_i, feature , item_nuovo.getHa_path_item()) );

...

it's quite tedious..
